In the weeks preceding our youth conferences each summer, we often hear the question, "What color will the shirts be this year?" And when the crowds of Lutheran youth, chaperones, and pastors arrive at a college campus and check in at the Higher Things registration table, they receive a bag full of conference materials, which includes the greatly-anticipated conference t-shirt.
This year, in honor of Higher Things' 12th birthday and the Twelve conference theme, we are offering a special opportunity: We are looking for 12 groups and/or individuals to sponsor conference t-shirts. For a minimum $1200 donation, your logo will be printed on the back of the conference t-shirts, which every attendee at all four conferences will receive, wear throughout the week, and take home as a great souvenir to be seen by lots of other people too! This year's donation amount is drastically reduced from previous years, and we hope that more of you will be able to take advantage of this opportunity.
Please email exhibitors@higherthings.org to reserve your spot on the Twelve conference t-shirts. Our conference attendees will appreciate you!

Yeah, it makes a difference – in like everything we do: knowing Christ, hearing and sharing God’s Word, living every day. It’s one of the highest things!
For those of you who didn't read the fine print in the latest 
Has Science replaced Religion? Does Evolution disprove
Creation? Has Science disproved the existence of God? If
there is a God why is there so much suffering in the world?
Is faith contrary to reason? Is the Bible reliable? Why do we
believe what we believe? Feel challenged by atheism and
skepticism? Are you skeptical yourself? Let's talk.
World famous celebs! Big time world famous problems too!
Lindsay Lohan, Life with the Kardashians, Wacko Jacko! TigerGate! The Man in Black! Are you like one or all of these world
famous superstars? Well, are you? Of course you are! You have
the same problems. But God has good news for you. We’ll
explore what the Scriptures say about the big time problems that
we share with these famous sinners and most of all the good
news that God has for you. Along the way we’ll also watch some
videos from these folks to illustrate the big-time problems as well
as God’s bigger, big time solution – the good news of the gospel
revealed in His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

God's Design. He made them male and female. He
made Adam for Eve and Eve for Adam. He brought
them together. He does the joining! His design shows us

Church. We'll took at relationships, dating, and the birds
and the bees from God's design. He's the one, after all,
who made us and brings us together!
